Happy new year readers! 2024 has begun and the predictions for what we may expect are now spreading all around us! But don’t worry, my focus for this post won’t be on anything political or COVID-related.
True, and is likely to see real-world results. I think a lot of people make resolutions because they feel as though they need to, and so they may not be likely to stick to them.
I didn't renew my one-year subscription (I mentioned this before), as we have some additional expenses as we craft our plan to have an off-ramp. Having said this, I have a question for you. I'm in Florida, and we woke to sapphire skies (like I've not seen in Canada in forever). WE are on a flight path, but throughout the day we saw multiple planes leaving huge trails. These planes were 4-6 in the sky at a time. The criss crosses increased, and finally the sky toward the sun turned murky white. The sky behind, had normal dark rain clouds. At the same time, we saw some big passenger planes flying over leaving zero trail. What am I to make of this? (BTW, this happens in our home town in Northern Ontario all of the time, and we live in a small city)...
As I've stated before Ms. P it's always more important to focus on you and your family before me or other writers. I'd never want to ask for support from readers who may have money constraints, and the economy isn't quite in a good spot right now, so don't be concerned with continuing support, and I appreciate the previous support you have given regardless, so thank you for that!
As to anything related to planes and trails I generally haven't ventured into that territory. I don't know much about those matters, and personally I find that any discussion of the sort will be highly polarizing, in which case you either must adhere to any conspiracy related to those trails or if you dare to look into it you're made to be a tin-foil conspiracy theorists.
For me, I don't know anything about the matter and so me making any comment would be coming out of a place of pure ignorance.
We had some interesting star-like patterns in the sky on December 8th. Those wind currents sure can be creative. I also saw and heard a jet with a contrail. Both can be seen together at times here.
The contrails however are, depending on the weather (cold), from jets gaining altitude after taking off from a nearby air field (converted Air Force base), and they don't stay long. They just kind of follow along behind the jet, long narrow tails on the left and right, with a gap. I went out and looked again later and the spray patterns were still there, more dispersed, but the contrail was gone.
To me, your most valuable posts break down covid and transfection studies. Especially the ones that circulate around the "medical freedom movement" sites. I rely on you and Brian Mowry to take these studies apart and let me know the possibilities and probabilities of what they point to. I know you want to branch out of the covet arena too. I can't think of anything else.
I do appreciate your remarks regarding those posts. There have been several topics that I wanted to look into that have become mainstays within the movement that I am dubious of, but unfortunately we are seeing more groupthink and reticence to examine other opinions. I'm still surprised that the "aerosolized vaccine" argument is being circulated when I don't find any concrete evidence of such a phenomenon, with only anecdotes of "I felt weird when nearby vaccinated people". There's much to this hypothesis that doesn't make sense, and yet it has garnered a following. It's the same with the "escape variant of death" which hasn't appeared 3 years post-vaccine, so do we just twiddle our thumbs until somehow THAT VARIANT appears for these people to say, "ah, yes! See! we told you it would come!" years down the road when any connection between the two would be lost?
I'm also finding that people are more focused on agreeing with one another rather than deviating from other views, otherwise you'd be made out to be some sort of psy-op or "fact checker".
Sorry for the long-winded response, but I would hope that we see more pushback on some of these narratives if we want to figure out what exactly is going on.
Yeah, the group think is unfortunate. I think it's hard to develop in a way where people can have their views and frameworks challenged. People may have thought there were a lot of free thinkers here, since we all generally did not go along with the narrative - we could think through it. But that doesn't mean we consistently tolerate the discomfort of cognitive dissonance and the emotional discomfort of openning our frameworks to other views. I was like that in the beginning; I needed the comfort of like-minded people because I was so isolated in the liberal where I live. As time went by, I really tried to be more aware of the areas where I was attached to my views and not open enough.
I agree with you, I think it's so important to figure out what's going on sooner rather than later. The more time that's spent in dead end or inflammatory narratives, the opportunity to find out the probable truths, and for those probably truths to spread, will diminish I think.
I love that - escape variant of death! 😅 I think you're talking about gvb. I thought that time would tell if he is right. And it hasn't panned out. But I think he keeps saying it!
I don't think there could be an aerosolized vaccine either. Vaccines are supposed to stimulate our immune system before we come across the disease causing microbe (I'm not sure if microbe is the correct word to use, but hopefully you know what I mean). If disease causing microbes are being spread in the air as a "vaccine" to stimulate our immune system, I think that would be called a bioweapon, not a vaccine.
Regarding shedding, I've spoken to a couple body workers who feel like they are affected by clients who have been vaccinated. That's why I think it could be possible, but I have no idea of the possible mechanisms.
It's one of the dangers of people who feel isolated for their views but welcomed by other groups, where those new groups may then "isolate" you as well for not thinking the same way as them. No one will think the same as one another, and it's ridiculous to assume use that as a litmus test for whether people's thoughts and opinions are worth entertaining. The problem is that many high-profile people in any movement are going to be praised and idolized.
This comes with an even larger need to save face, and so the incentives to correct one's prior thoughts aren't there, and if you have a following that is naiive to the falsities then it it again removes any need for criticism I've grown frustrated seeing how many people have reported on things that were baseless but was just taken up as fact. Similar to one of Brian's recent posts where he emphasizes the biggest issue in which any sort of claim is taken as fact. We have a lot of people defending claims as a matter of fact when they may be mere assumptions.
I sort of just pointed out GvB because I've reached a point where this doesn't feel any different than climate change alarmists or doomsday predictors. You provide a model but then move the goalpost so that there's never any concrete time of arrival for the doomsday. It also relies on uninformed people to parrot these ideas without giving it much thought. And I'm not saying this to suggest that people are stupid- I think people are far more intelligent than they give themselves credit for, but they are also likely to be highly impressionable and may struggle to make sense of things when the overall intent is to keep things appearing nonsensical.
I think pathogen would be a better fit rather than microbe in this case. Widespread aerosolization of vaccines doesn't seem plausible due to the fact that many outside factors would sort of limit their effectiveness, and it would also depend on the formulation of the so-called vaccines. One thing that I intended to write about years ago was the lie that SARS-COV2 would persist for days to weeks on surfaces, as many of these studies were done in sterile environments. It's easy to argue that something would persist in a petri dish if not exposed to anything from the outside world, and yet it was taken as something that would be translatable to the real world.
To the last point, the problem is that the shedding argument is, again, a claim taken as fact and supported only by anecdotes. I think anecdotes are good for leads, but otherwise what's an anecdote without further research? I'm a bit frustrated in seeing how many people are taking the most spurious of anecdotes as evidence of vaccine shedding, and in cases where it's refuted due to a lack of mechanistic reasons the argument is that "well, there's likely a reason out there we don't know about yet, so it could be happening" which again doesn't provide any additional substance. But now because people are taking vaccine shedding as a fact, then this comes with the idea that any anecdote is now heavily influenced by confirmation bias. You now will look at prior events and will say adamantly that "oh yeah, I was hanging around vaccinated people and I started to feel ill! It must be the vaccine!". So a claim taken as fact is now supported by confirmation bias.
My biggest anecdotal refutation of vaccine shedding is that, by all accounts, nearly everyone I will ever come across, whether at work, at a store, or anywhere out in public is likely to be vaccinated, so nearly any interaction I come across will be a possible incident of vaccine shedding, and yet from what I know I haven't had any issues in public settings, and I would bet that most people haven't either, but it's because we zeroed in on specific anecdotes that we may make such a claim that it must be the vaccines and not possible hypochondriac-like behaviors related to the vaccine.
No resolutions here. Planning makes more sense, and it's a year-round thing.
True, and is likely to see real-world results. I think a lot of people make resolutions because they feel as though they need to, and so they may not be likely to stick to them.

I remember liking that movie scrooged.
